Last week, officials announced the zoo will be open to the public starting on Feb. 6. SeaWorld San Diego closed on Dec. 7 when the California stay-at-home order went into effect to slow the spread of the coronavirus, according to the park website.
In its announcement on social media Friday, SeaWorld San Diego promised that guests would be able to enjoy "outdoor fun, amazing animals, character meet-and-greets, new mouthwatering menu items, cocktails, and more."
